ASHA Early Intervention Resources for Families

About this resource

About

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the US professional body representing audiologists and speech-language pathologists. Its public-facing early intervention pages translate federal law and clinical practice into plain language for families supporting young children with communication, feeding, or hearing challenges, based on Part C of IDEA.

What It Does

The ASHA Early Intervention section explains how Part C of IDEA works, which professionals may deliver services in natural environments, what an IFSP includes, and how to request a free evaluation. Supplementary tip sheets cover speech and language milestones, feeding and swallowing concerns, and strategies families can use during everyday routines. The ASHA ProFind directory helps families locate certified local SLPs and audiologists.

Who It Helps

Parents and caregivers concerned about their child's speech, language, feeding, or hearing development from birth to age three. Early intervention service coordinators and speech-language pathologists also share these pages as a first-stop resource for families entering the Part C system for the first time.
